Nearly a month after the abrupt departure of the Arlington Heights Memorial Library's executive director, library officials said Wednesday their second-in-command also is no longer employed there.

Deputy Director Jeremy Andrykowski, who has worked at the library since 2000, spent his last day Monday at the Arlington Heights library, said library spokeswoman Mary Hastings.

The news came after Jason Kuhl, who worked as the library's executive director since June 2012, suddenly resigned in late September amid a turbulent week at the library, where a forum meant to inform undocumented immigrants about their rights was canceled after, officials said, the library received threats about the event.

In both cases, library officials have declined to discuss the reasons for the departures.

On Wednesday, Hastings said Andrykowski did not resign from his position, clarifying that officials wouldn't comment further on his departure, which they described as a "personnel matter."

"Both of these events were unexpected by staff," Hastings said.

Library officials would not comment on whether Andrykowski was terminated from his position. Hastings said library officials also did not receive a resignation letter from Andrykowski, adding that he is not set to receive a severance package.

In late September, library officials also said they wouldn't comment further on the reasons for Kuhl's sudden resignation – only to say he left for "personal reasons." Kuhl has not returned requests for comment since the resignation was announced Sept. 26.

In an email sent to the library's staff Tuesday addressing Andrykowski's departure, interim executive director Mike Driskell said, "we wish him the best of luck."

Records show Andrykowski earned a base salary of $108,391 in 2017 as deputy director.

"The past month has been filled with a number of unexpected events," Driskell stated. "This can be stressful, especially for those staff directly affected by these events and personnel changes."

Driskell said employee Shannon Distel will manage Andrykowski's responsibilities on an interim basis.

Debbie Smart, president of the library's board of trustees, also was not immediately available for comment Wednesday.
